Nicely done...Will you still be hitting the cloth parts with a matte clear to remove all traces of gloss?
The very best I've ever used is Testors Acryl Flat Clear with an airbrush, thinned 10% with water and shot at high pressure from about 8 inches from the subject.
Completely deadens any shine to a dead flat, unlike many other flat clears which always seem to impart a bit of their own sheen, only to render cloth with an unrealistic hint of gloss.
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

Yes, it will get a matt cote, but that is a long way away yet - still got to paint the rest, shadows, highlights etc.
